From page lA
Explained commission
Chairman Ned Sanders:
“Garbage deposited in a
landfill has an impermeable
liner in the bottom of it.
“Once trash is compacted,
those liquids seep out and go
to a low point where they’re
collected and go into a leach
ate tank.
“In the past that leachate
has been taken to a sanitary
treatment facility where it
has been treated along with
other liquids in a sanitary
system and once it reaches
a certain level of cleanliness,
it’s released into a stream
... usually. Or, it could be
applied in some form of a
land application.”
What will change further
explained county Director
of Operations Tommy
Stalnaker, who added that
the majority of the leachate
comes from storm water -
not liquids being brought to
the landfill - is that “some”
of the leachate will still be
recycled the way Sanders
described.
The rest, he said - perhaps
AGAIN
From page jA
that he and Walker would go out and look at
the area of contention. (Sanders had already
been out there at studied it prior to Laßar’s
first visit to the commissioners’ meeting.)
Sanders also suggested that Commissioner
Larry Thomson and Gail Robinson go also
- on a different day and time, however.

the majority - will now be
re-circulated back through.
“Which,” he said, “will
help the garbage further
break down which is going to
generate more methane gas
which in turn we’re fixing to
start capturing and utilizing
for an energy source.”
In addition to garbage in
the landfill, the commission
ers took care of any poten
tial trash being taken off the
streets by approving a jail
expansion.
The contract was awarded
to JMA and HDR (out of
Dallas), which, according to
County Attorney Mike Hall,
saved the county money -
by not having to start from
scratch in terms of design.
Plus, he added, this ensures
the work will be similar in
appearance, construction
and function to the existing
facility.
The “scope of work” calls
for two “pods” to be added -
a total of 160 beds, explained
Thomson.
The site will be modified,
the scope of work reads, to
allow for the placement of
the building, the connection
of the building to on site
utilities, and to expand the
“We’ll take a look at your concerns,”
Sanders said. “Take a look and see if you’re
materially impacted and damaged by what
you’re saying and by these pictures you’ve
shown us here.
“And if so, we’ll take appropriate action.
If we deem it necessary. And if we deem
it fair ... If we deem it fair. That’ll be my
recommendation and so that’s my promise
to you.”

Piney Grove Road has been pretty quiet
through most of its history, but the con
struction equipment is moving, and the
whole area should come to life in a year
and a half when Houston County opens
its fifth full-service high school.
The school is being built by Parrish
Construction Group, which is based in
Perry.
It was designed by DeLoach Architects,
and will be paid for with funds from the
2007-2012 Special Purpose Local Option
Sales Tax.
Pam Greenway, Board of Education
Chairperson, told the crowd at the
storm water facilities cur
rently serving the complex.
Added by Sanders was
this: “Inmate space for those
suffering from mental prob
lems as a result of medical
diagnosis will be a part of
the scope of this work.”
“It’s a part of discussion
but not part of the scope of
work,” he explained. “It will
call for some changes to the
original design.
“The sheriff wants it.”
he explained, “and he has a
good reason for wanting it
and it’s justifiable and that
will require some changes to
the existing design.
“In other words there will
be some modifications need
ed. I don’t’ want that to
come back and haunt us by
being pressed with an addi
tional fee.”
April 2009 is the start time
for the project with August-
September 2010 being its
finish.
Other items the commis
sion approved included:
• A Homeland Security
grant for SIOO,OOO. The
money will be used to
buy cots and blankets,
explained Commissioner
Gail Robinson. Elaborated

He said, “The relationship we have with
our County Commissioners surpasses any
in the state.”
He said the school was named “in
appreciation of our men and women in
uniform, and also recognizes our close
connection to Robins Air Force Base.”
He thanked the voters of Houston
County who approved the sales tax which
is funding the building of five schools.
Veterans Middle School will also be built
in the Piney Grove area.
Carpenter said he expected the doors
to the school to open in August 1010, and
noted that Dave Cyr, who heads Parrish
Construction, has gotten his other school
projects done on time or early.
